So, it's cable TV all over again with regular price hikes. I appreciate the article however, as it reminded me that I hadn't yet cancelled my Hulu subscription.

I just corrected that oversight.

Let’s hope it’s not cable tv all over again.  One price change, a small one at that, in three years is not that bad.  Now if it becomes a yearly thing,  that is a different story.

Exactly tho, that's the f-ing thing.  Disney already went up +$1, now it's Hulu's turn for +$1! Bastards!  It's like another $25,000,000 a month! now an extra $50 Mill a month.  Pretty soon the bundle discount will all but have evaporated.  You would think, oh we'll just drop ESPN+ right?  But heck, ESPN has like ZIP left on their App or Channel via Cable/Dish, compared the App with ESPN+, that's ESPN on steroids!  ESPN+ has everything practically compared to ESPN, like NFL Primetime, which has the re-caps of NFL at night so you won't miss a step, nope that's ESPN+. I mean tons of stuff is on ESPN+!!

The only thing I can say is I do enjoy ad free, but SHOE, this is NOW more expensive than NetFlix!

So, it's gonna be a back and forth between them now!  It's a min max $1 for $1 every so damn often as they can marginally make the "Call" to raise the price by a $1.

But what's sick is Disney has the advantage because they can sit there with definitely better premium stuff, but be able to go:

This year Disney goes up $1
This year Hulu goes up $1
This year ESPN+ goes up $1
repeat...

Where as NetFlix is like, ummmm. +$2? cool? whew
Wait two years, +$2? cool? whew...

The thing that sucks the most tho, is THIS is how their lame asses fight inflation, aka "Raising the Rent..."
Which is what all this comes down to, get people to pay monthly dues &&& LOCK UM IN, raise the rents when the inflation goes up...

While everyone else NOT IN ON THAT inflation fighting system has to figure out things like the Monopoly dude, with the picture with him pulling out the lining of his pockets, like? aint got nothing left...

Laters...
2¢

IDK, supposedly, by purchasing, I am going to get a year of TV+ @ $5 per month for 12 months, and the remote is well over the top worth $59, especially finally with the mute button, I mean just the mute button!

But this comes down to:

$179 - $60 - $59 = $60?  For a Complete new TV 4K+ that will play full frame 60fps? possibly 120fps some day?
I haven't run test yet, but I am thinking this is gonna play games at 4K/60fps instead of 4K/30fps too.
This is for actually Apple Coded Games, not "ported games."
Not to mention this supports YouTube HDR at 60fps?

In summary $60 for an TV 4K+ is pretty much well worth the price. IDK what else you are looking for...

p.s. Just confirmed I have a game, I am working on, and I compiled with Xcode 12.5, and the game no longer runs at 30fps, the game runs at 60fps!!  woot woot

Neener neener neener ner, flippin kids boy...  I think the only thing I have to say, is:

Look if Apple wants to take it's ball and go home, what the Feds have to come in and say:
"No, you're playing!"  and "You can't pick and choose who to play with or who your friends are."

It's just almost like you can't even make a successful business.
It's not like this took Apple 10 years to accomplish and now they are crushing everything that moves (FBook).
This took Apple over 40 years to get where they are.

It's just "dereliction of terms" over and over in these courts, that they want to DEFINE things and labels,
and they all feel like they can solve and they must solve them now for every use case.
This is just for themselves to be the ones who create the terms and/or labels,
that in this country because of "precedence."  We all lose, unless we're FIRST or somewhat first.
That's the dumb machine until the industries get all locked in and too rigid, adding in even the patents and such.
Until a new industry has to be created or re-created.

It's like just live but then jealousy...

Objectively and geometrically speaking, the leaf design is way too similar and it’s on the same side. Also, its angle is similar, only mirrored. Apple does have a bit of a leg to stand on here, I’m afraid.

And no, I’m not (just) a fanboy, but a future PhD in design, and even an undergrad with a keen eye would spot the similarities right away… This isn’t much different from spotting plagiarism in typography, you just have to overlay the curves and see how well they match. Do you want me to?

You're kidding right?  I don't even think Apple has an OUTLINED LOGO...

I am glad my CSC 269 Professor gave me a C- three times in a req'd "C" grade class, making me drop out of college WOW.  Whew...

I always knew college was a joke for computers and computer science.  They are always at LEAST 10 years behind...more like 30 in this case!
If you need "all of this" explained to you, you obviously wouldn't understand.

Just got a MacMini 2018 (Feb 6th), and bumped the RAM to 64GB, couldn't be happier, still runs Mojave if I want.  We'll see if you can upgrade RAM in these new ones.  If so I'll be a little bummed, if not ewww...
